(R. Sawyer)

Just a little ol' boy about twelve years old,
working on my daddy's farm Gotta help him build an
ol' chicken coop, gotta help him paint the barn I
was carryin' a load 'bout twice my size, not quite
enough to brag Papa just smiled and looked at me
and said "Son let the loose end drag"

Son let the loose end drag Son let the loose end
drag Papa just smiled and looked at me and said
Son let the loose end drag

When I got to be a man I started makin' plans to
get me all the love that I can I was sitting in a
bar getting pretty far with a honey on my right
hand When up stepped a stud he was looking for
blood 'cause the lady didn't come in stag When
you're caught in the middle you can bet your life
that it'll be "Honey let the loose end
drag"

end drag When you're caught in the middle you can
bet your life that it'll be Honey let the loose
end drag

Now my life is almost done every day I tell my
son, the words my daddy handed down to me You
gotta hang on very tight to the things you know
are right, let the fly-by-night things be When the
Devil calls your name and he says he won the game,
and you know there ain't no turning back When he
says you're gonna die, you just spit right in his
eye, and don't let the loose end drag

I ain't gonna let the loose end drag I ain't gonna
let the loose end drag When he says you're gonna
die, you just spit right in his eye, and don't let
the loose end drag I ain't gonna let the loose end
drag
